Laravel Vapor Overview

We take a look at some of the features of Laravel Vapor including setting it up with an AWS IAM user, deploying via CLI, databases, queues, file uploads and custom domains. Vapor is a great service that allows you to host your Laravel app on AWS Lambda with a serverless architecture. This keeps maintenance to a minimum and allows your app to scale massively.

Thank you for this video! It was the perfect introduction to the specifics in Vapor and answered a bunch of questions I had.

Very nice walkthrough. Gonna give Vapor a go this weekend. This made it a lot easier already.

*I cant wait to get my hands on Laravel Vapor*

Thank you for including the full source code for file upload. Vapor documentation lacks that. Also i really like vapor, however one annoying thing is that if i want to use a different database within the same db instance i need to manualmy create it and specify it in .env

Definitely looks like a great solution for large scale sites. However, with all the additional add-ons (jump box, private-db) it looks like it's more expensive than a small Digital Ocean droplet for smaller/medium sites.

Andre, do you have any thoughts about the cost of using vapor vs forge for small/medium sites?

I am facing these Error . When i am Using Local environment l upload error is indicating that "Unable to issue signed URL. Missing environment variables AWS_BUCKET, AWS_DEFAULT_REGION, AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID, AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY" you don't have your AWS key .

Thanks for the video, very nice explanation!

Hi Andre!, thanks a lot for the video, when should we be using Forge instead Vapor?

[carloseliescobarruiz]

Hi, excellent video! But still have a question, it is needed to use S3 as in the documentation and in your video? Or Can i use it as normal, using S3 Storage?

I find that vapor fits better for larger apps!

[tcindie]

The local upload error is indicating that you don't have your AWS key and secret configured correctly within your local environment.

Can I use Vapor for microservices? Or just build one ecommerce app and let vapor handles it? What do you recommend?

[rubenrios]

The sessions shouldn't use
Redis or DynamoDB driver instead File driver?

[richardhaddadau]

What if we want to go serverless but not AWS? Feels like every starting kit for Laravel only works with one solution.

Nice video !! .... hello everyone, currently i'm using vapor to deploy my project on AWS ... but sometimes it's so slow, so i want to know the list of requests that my project execute in "High volume of users" I want to know the request i will need to optimize. I'm pretty sure AWS have some feature where to see that. Many thanks in advance for your help!

[amined]

thanks that really useful, but i don't think so that will fit a lot of people because the price is very hight, what do you think guys?

[ninjanine]

Thanks that's very informative, but do i need to make any purchase to follow you along in this video?

I have small problem with Vapor. I notices that my requests are waaay slower than on normal DO droplet. Requests for simple data from RDS (10 rows) is taking about 500-700ms. It's like 3 times slower than on DO. I was hoping that it will be blazing fast because of Lambda and I have no idea how I could improve performance of this. This is fresh laravel installation, everything should work like a charm. Caching is not the point here, it's just somehow slow and all instances are in that same geo region.

How do I setup uploads to DigitalOcean spaces? Does anyone know how to?

[ehSamurai]

I am using laravel for APIs only. Will this work for this thing too?
